Mrs. W. R. Scott died at an early hour this morning at her home in the northeast part of town. Mrs. Scott has been a sufferer for a year or more past from tuberculosis and her life has been despaired of for some time. She was a most lovable woman, devoted to her family and admired by her friends for her many good qualities. In their affliction, the bereaved husband and three little children, have the fullest measure of sympathy. Funeral services will be held from the M. E. church on Friday afternoon at 2 o’clock.

Obituary—Alma Scott.

After many months of patient suffering, Mrs. Alma Scott passed away at her home in Winterset, on Dec. 14th, 1905. Mrs. Scott was born in Indiana Sept. 9th, 1873, moving to Kansas with her parents in 1885. She was married to W. R. Scott, Sept. 4th 1893 and removed to Winterset in 1896, where she has resided until her death.

For the past two years Mrs. Scott had been a victim of tuberculosis, yet her struggle against the disease was heroic, and in spite of a frail physique she made a brave fight to remain with her children and husband, to whom she was intensely devoted. Her first thought was for her children and her home. She became a member of the Kansas P. E. O. Chapter at the age of eighteen, and no more loyal exponent of the sisterhood’s principles could be found than Mrs. Scott. She became a member of the Winterset Chapter several years ago, and whenever the state of her health permitted, she was always present at its sessions. By the P. E. O., she was regarded as a faithful worker and a woman in whom they could repose their confidence. A Christian from childhood, she was always charitable and optimistic, and in her death the neighbors and intimate friends have lost a true and devoted associate.

Mrs. Scott left three children, a husband, a mother, one sister, and one brother to mourn the close of a useful life, and yet the [sic] are comforted with the thought that she has gone from pain and care to rest.

The burial services were held on Friday afternoon at the M. E. church by Rev. W. R. Matheny concluding with the ritualistic service of the P. E. O. Sisterhood at the church and cemetery.—Winterset, Iowa Reporter.

Mrs. Scott was well known in Meade and has many friends who sympathize with her husband and children.
